Brooke Shields Talks About JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER
Brooke Shields has a key role in the upcoming animated movie Justice League: The New Frontier, and she shares what it was like working on the film.
Comics Continuum had the interview with Brooke Shields where she offers up her thoughts on working in amination and her role in The New Frontier. Sheilds plays Carol Ferris who's key in recruiting Hal Jordon to be the Green Lantern.
"I think the thing that I responded to with Carol, as a character, is that, if you think about the 1950s, people were not sympathetic towards women in any position other than the very traditional homemaker -- and here's Carol, this revolutionary woman for that period of time," Shields said. "There's a strength in Carol -- she's not willing to lose her sexuality by being in a man's world, and she's determined to be respected for having the same intelligence and ability to stay on course, and be par for the course, with the men that she's surrounded by. I admire her character from that perspective for that period of time, and I would admire her in this day and age."
Shields really got into character, loved how she looked and confessed her desires to play a Super Hero; "She's hot!" Shields said with a laugh. "I wish I could cut my hair like hers. I just love her. And I love that pencil skirt that she's wearing, too."
"I'm so drawn to the concept of a female warrior as the lead character -- I've loved it since before they had shows like Alias and Bionic Woman," Shields said. "As I'm not exactly, let's say, a dainty girl -- I'm not frail, and no matter what I do, I'm not little -- I've always secretly wished to have to go through some kind of training to do a big, physical role. I've trained with the Blue Angels and I've done triathlons, but ultimately, I think I want to be a super hero. Okay, I just want to play a super hero. I think that would be great. I'd love to do that kind of role."
